This lavishly illustrated guidebook is the perfect way to introduce readers to the time-honored art of tai chi. The first chapter offers an account of tai chi’s history and philosophical underpinnings, including descriptions of the major schools of tai chi. Subsequent chapters present a series of positions that flow into each other to create several tai chi routines. Each spread of these chapters features a photograph of a tai chi practitioner doing a position, accompanied by a cutaway anatomical drawing of the practitioner in that position. Tips on how to do each position properly are also included.
